You know all these television quiz shows that say “we asked 100 people..........”. Well, have any gransnetters ever been asked for their opinion/comments?

No!

Let me qualify that. I live in a northern backwater. No one is ever likely to stop me on the street to ask a Pointless question, or any other question come to that.

A few months ago somebody on Gransnet said they'd been asked because they belonged to a site involved with various surveys. Apparently that's how they choose their random 100.

Yes. I belong to lots of survey websites that pay (pennies) for your opinions.
Occasionally you are given 100 seconds to answer questions.... usually on a subject I know nothing about...it's bloomin' difficult. You are never told who the answers are for but it's obviously Pointless....
I don't remember seeing any of my questions on the telly though.
